Full Description
Excavations undertaken around the White Horse Stone site in the Medway Valley between Oct 1998-Mar 1999 by Oxford Archaeology. The site consisted of three areas along the CTRL line; from west to east: the ‘White Horse Stone site’, the ‘Pilgrim’s Way site’, and the ‘West of Boarley Farm site’.
Late Neolithic activity is represented by two post and stake built structures, pits, and deposits in tree-throw holes. Finds include Grooved Ware, animal bone, charred plant remains, flint, fired clay, cremated human remains, and a polished ironstone ball. (1)
